Two degenerate sons of worthy sires —Robert E. Lincoln and James R. Gar- field. . ( _P, 0. Knox is said to be the greatest | (railroad) attorney in the United States. DOWIE, the self styled Elijah, received his skidoo and ‘‘23” at one and the game time. IT might be well for Secretary Loeb to take a few lessons in equestrianism from his chief. “Ler us do the weighing and we care not what the’scale is,” is the po- gition of the Berwind-White company. THE greatest objection to Andy Car- negie’s spelling reform is that it would do away with the old fashioned spell- ing bee. =, oe oi of right ring were the resolutions adopted by the miners’ convention at Clearfield con- cerning the new state constabulary. THE only objection to the coal com- panies raising the price of coal is the inability of the average man to also raise it without straining his financial standing. WONDER if one Dr. S. C. Swallow was present at the Methodist confer- ence when Bishop Berry made his pert- inent remarks anent the minister in politics ? THE more John Mitchell stands in the 1ime light the greater his person- ality appears. Without a doubt he is the ablest labor leader of his day and generation. How could it be possible to defeat a man with a name like Jeff Davis in Ar- kansas? And Jeff will wake the United States senate up, too, or we miss our guess. ONE of the best ways to help your own town is to patronize home mer- “* chants. The best way to find the ones that are offering bargains is to read the advertising columns of the COURIER. PAT DOLAN was fired bodily from a ct convention in Pittsburg, Now if Pat is fired bodily from the United Mine Workers the cause of labor will "not suffer to any appreciable extent. THE only difference between Senator Knox and Senator Penrose is that the former is a man of good character, brainy and ‘‘smoother’’ than his col- league. Both represent the corpora- tions and not the people. THE statement of a Johnstown paper that James M. Gilliece is a candidate for the Demoncratic nomination for sheriff is incorrect. James aspires to help make the laws of the state as a IT isn’t the recognition of organized labor that the Berwind-White people are fighting against, but their supposed inherent right to steal from the miners by short weight. No honest operator is afraid of the checkweigh system. PATTON needs a Villiage Improve- ment Association. While the organi- zation of one probably would not make the desert blcom like a rose, it couldn’t heip but make the town more beauti- ful and put it in a better sanitary con- dition. TEDDY is discovering that the senate gards as its first duty allegiance to he railroad companies. Had it not been for the railroad corporations many of the men now in the senate, including the two from Pennsylvania, would be unknown to fame and for- taue. COMING TROLLEY LEGISLATION, There is no doubt but what the next legislature will enact some very de- cided as well as beneficial trolley legis. lation, The time is ripe for such action and it will surely come. Both branches of the state legislature are pledged to give the electric railways the right of eminent domain, and the steam roads know full well that nothing can arrest or retard the growing sentiment in | favor of giving the trolley roads the right to carry freight. In certainty of such action by the next fact, the legislature is so well understood and | agreed upon that it is not thought that | the steam roads will offer any serious | objection to the enactment of legisla | tion favorable to the trolleys. The trolley propaganda has been | quietly at work for the past two or | three years, and many look upon the | recent drastic anti pass measure as an | | earnest of the trolley legislation that is | soon to follow. With the right of em- | inent domain assured, we will see an era of trolley building that will surpass {all former achievements. It will be the dawn of a new era of prosperity for Pennsylvania. GOVERNMENT by injunction is still doing business at the old stand. The Windber miners are the latest to taste this un-American proceedure. NO AGREEMENT 4S YET. CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1. shall agree to favor the check off,it shall be binding upon all the men at that mine and all new men employed at the mine or mines after a decision is reached by a majority vote to adopt the check off, shall come under this rule, and a list of those paying, with the amount paid, shall be furnished semi-monthly. The check off to be taken from the gross earnings and to have the preference over all other de- ductions and that this shall be consid- ered one of the conditions of employ- ment at all operations. The pay shall be semi-monthly and payable not later than 15 days after the close of each pay period. The com- pany to furnish a statement of ac- counts, with receipt attached, not later than 12 days after the close of each semi-monthly pay period, and whenever an employe desires to leave the employment of the company he shall receive his pay not later than two days after notifying said company of his desire to leave. Paying not to commence not later than 3 o’clock p. m. on pay days. There shall be an equalization of the turn kept at all times as nearly as possible. The cars shall be taken to and from the working place by men employed for that pur- pose as mule drivers or car pushers. Blacksmithing, where charged for, not to exceed one-half cent per ton for pick and one-quarter cent per ton for machine coal. Cutters and scrapers to be exempt from blacksmithing charges. Miners to have the prefer- ence over company work in getting their tools sharpened, and where no blacksmith is employed that there be no blacksmithing charges. Coke Workers’ Scale—Coke workers shall be paid 25 cents per ton for draw- ing coke; charging oven, $2 per day; other coke workers, $1.80 per day. Be it resolved, That we request the operators to meet us in separate sub- districts and agree upon a dead work scale of prices, including yardage in narrow and heading work. The operators claim the above has no semblance whatever to the 1903 scale except the one item ot 66 cents per ton for pick mining; that instead of the 1903 scale, as the general public has been led to believe would increase the cost of coal to the consumer six cents per ton, this scale would increase cost in the Central Pennsylvania field 17 cents per ton. The operators contend that any in- crease that has been offered in any competitive district would not bring the scale in these regions up to the scale the miners of the Central Penn- sylvania region have been getting the past year; that if the miners of this region should insist on such a scale the result would mean the closing of all the mining operations of Central Penn- sylvania; that this scale as prepared forces on the operators the condition of an absolute ‘‘closed shop,” which the operators are a unit in condemn- ing. The miners’ convention adjourned Tuesday, having been in session since Friday. The reports of President Gil- day and Secretary-Treasurer Gilbert were adopted. The latter showed that the United Mine Workers had in the district in 1899 a total membership of 633, and at present, seven years later, 36,345; and that the receipts of the district and sub.districts for the year ending February 28 last, were consid- | erably in excess of half a million dollars. President Gilday, Vice President McPherson and Secretary-Treasurer Gilbert were announced as having been re-elected witout opposition. Reso- lations condemning the new state con- stabulary law in no uncertain tones were adopted. | WALK ON IT, gain Store. Che New Chinese Enamel For FLOORS, FURNITURE, BATH ROOMS, ETC.
